About this listen

Penguin Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Nanny by Gilly MacMillan.

The tension is simmering. The lies are piling up. Who do you trust?

'Pulses with tension until its shocking conclusion' SHARI LAPENA
'White-knuckled suspense' TESS GERRITSEN
___________________
Jocelyn loves her nanny more than her own mother – until the night that the nanny disappears. Jo is seven years old when it happens and never gets over the loss.

Now, thirty years later, Jo is returning to her family home with her daughter in tow – just as human remains are pulled out of the house's lake.

Then there’s a knock on the door. And a woman claiming to be her nanny stands outside.

Is she who she says she is?
Can she be trusted?
And what really happened on that fateful night all those years ago?

Sometimes the truth hurts so much you’d rather hear the lie.

‘Secrets, lies, jealousy and betrayal… Elegantly structured and infused with a creeping sense of dread’SARAH VAUGHAN

‘The plot sucked me in and the insidious build had me turning the pages rapidly’ JANE SHEMILT

The Nanny will make you doubt everyone - including yourself. Some families are built on a bedrock of lies. This one is no exception. Clever and deliciously addictive’ JANE CORRY

‘I was blown away by The Nanny. Original, twisty, unpredictable and taut with its buried secrets, the old creepy house and complex relationships. I never knew who to trust and the ending shocked me. This deserves to be huge!’ CLAIRE DOUGLAS

‘A tense, assured and atmospheric thriller which will keep you guessing from page one right through to the shocking denouement. Brilliantly absorbing’ MEL McGRATH

I really enjoyed this. Kept me guessing all the way through. I will be looking out for more by this author.

Great story

This has all the ingredients for a very enjoyable listen. Old house, body found in the lake, family secrets, vaguely aristocratic parents and a Gothic feel. In fact I found it hard to press pause!

Very enjoyable

Well written and read. It was quite captivating. Once I started I couldn’t stop listening.

Good. Some nice twists and turns!

A good thriller that keeps you guessing, at least for a while. The performances were good, the only thing I found a bit odd was having the three narrators to reflect the different characters, except that Clare Corbett did both Jo and Linda/Hannah. If Clare had been doing the whole book, I wouldn't have thought it was strange, but if you're going to have three narrators, why not four?
